Mark,
I do not think I could officiate as long as you have while carrying all that weight in my game bag. (In fact, I won't officiate as long as you have.)
I always assume the Coaches and the players know the rules,
and I see my role as an observer of the game, and I blow my whistle when I see someone violate a rule. No more.
The game is much bigger than my striped shirt.
